The Tyranny of Identity is both a personal and highly interdisciplinary examination of the wide range of factors and disciplines at play in the formation of identity. It takes a novel and unique approach to this through use of metaphor, images, poetry and a wide range of academic sources to provide a holistic approach to the study of identity.This book uses the concept of Babushka dolls to show that we all have a series of activities during our lives that reside in our mind, body, spirit - each influencing the multiple identities we knowingly or unknowingly possess.
